thoughts on rebel 300 as first bike ever? saving for a couple of months on one

Get the 500. The 300 isnt worth it.

get a KTM duke 390.
Rebel is alright i guess, you will outgrow it within 3 months.

2016 Ninja ZX-6R 636cc
96.4 kW {131 PS} / 13,500 rpm
71 N.m {7.2 kgf.m} / 11,500 rpm
360lb dry

Ducati Monster 797 803cc
54 kW (73 hp) @ 8.250 rpm
67 Nm (49 lb-ft) @ 5,750 rpm
386lb dry

How can Italians even compete? The only advantage it has is the naked style since the Ninja is a generic sport bike.

Then he might kill himself when he finds out the electricity used in his home comes from burning fossil fuels. I can't stand that guy.

>300
'no'

Looks gorgeous tbqh. Cruisers look better with V-twin, though.

Hey /dbt/, I have my first day of the course tomorrow and I'm a bit nervous. Any quick "Things I wish they taught me" tidbits to share?

you can always lean a little more

This The 500 gives you more room to grow while, but is still very manageable for a beginner

Stand with your left leg and keep your right foot for the rear brake.
Put the bike in 1st gear when stopping at lights/junctions and keep the back break on for visibility.
Lifesaver checks before pulling away.
Squeeze the tank with your legs for better stability instead of of letting them flap around.
Don't ride like a moron.
